PM: 4.5 miles on the treadmill, averaged 9:07. HR 158.

Up and down throughout the day. Not bad, just a lot to do and can't seem to get organized. Took the boys down to play and ended up doing a mini workout, which I will bold here in the hopes that it catches on to something bigger. I'm just not a perpetual basebuilder. I like workouts. They don't have to be intense or long, just a little something. Treadmill seemed fine at 2%. The issue is clearly not related to heat buildup because I've tried something like this before and shut it down in 18 minutes.

3 miles of alternating quarters 8.0 MPH/6.0 MPH

1 mile wu @ 6.0 MPH and a half mile cd @ 5.5 MPH

8.0 MPH felt comfortably hard. Half miles would have been a bit tough. I'll extend it out to 4 miles next week to test fitness and the treadmill.

I am a perpetual basebuilder. You don't want to be that guy. We're going to need to see more bold font from you around here. I like it.

Avoiding too many zeros at certain times in life is a good accomplishment, Tom. Hope you and family are well.
